What brands should we NOT boycott? (lemm.ee)

I get the boycotts for Target, Walmart, and Amazon for rolling back their DEI programs and bowing to Trump. What companies are treating employees fair or standing up for human decency? Seems like Costco gets brought up?

Most things I need I can get from my local grocery store which seems pretty non evil but where do you go if you need like a new keyboard?

Voting for lesser evil just slows down the evil, it doesn't reverse it. It's still going in the wrong direction.

If people would vote for good that’d be a choice. Consistently voting for “less evil” works towards that goal - having good candidates.

If “more evil” candidates keep winning, what message does that send to candidates?

[–] Lumberjacked@lemm.ee 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah. Lots of people didn’t vote because we had two evils. The greater evil won…

You cant run a candidate who supports a far right wing genocide from the left and expect to win. Its really that simple. It'll probably be that simple next time as well.

What we need is Russian and israeli influence kept out of the US government with no exceptions. Zionist influence on the dems is why Harris lost, not some 'voters dont understand that voting for evil is just necesssary' like you pretend. Stop telling the voters they need to be ok with war crimes. Thats cowardly BS. I'll never be OK with murder and you shouldnt ever be either.
